Extremist Neurosurgeon in Area!
Run, Will Robinson! Run!

The Southern Poverty Law Center has descended to the level of self-parody (though it has a lot of company on the left) with its posting of Dr. Ben Carson on its “extremist files” list. Dr. Carson, a world-renowned brain surgeon, has served as inspiration for generations of African-Americans, and was portrayed on screen by Cuba Gooding in the movie version of his autobiography Gifted Hands.
But to SPLC, desperate to find targets and keep the donations coming in to support the lavish salaries of its executives, apparently no convoluted reasoning is too bizarre.
Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson rapidly ascended as a far-right political star after publicly scolding President Obama, whom he sat a few feet away from, at a National Prayer Breakfast in February 2013. Carson’s reproach of Obama for his health care and tax policies went viral, unleashing a flood of adulation from right-wing media and hate groups. Carson’s own story as an “up by the bootstraps” black man reared in poverty translated into an inspiring, magnetic narrative that captured media attention. Soon he was appearing as the keynoter at a rash of right-wing and hate group gatherings, linking gays with pedophiles, comparing the U.S. to Nazi Germany and endorsing biblical economic practices for 21st century America. A movement to draft Carson as a presidential candidate took off in 2014, raising more than $7 million by June, according to its website. Carson has coyly declined to say whether he would run as a Republican or on a third-party ticket, but media interviews suggest that he is increasingly willing to run on some ticket.
Apparently, criticizing President Obama qualifies you as an extremist, in the SPLC's eyes. Or maybe it is opposing the redefinition of marriage that is the trigger.

Socialists, Progressives & Liberals Certifiable
who funds the SPLC?
Got that right!
Say that again!
Criticizing President Obama qualifies you as an extremist
LOUDER!
criticizing President Obama qualifies you as an extremist
The Southern Poverty Law Center was a communist front from opening day.
Morris Dees and Mark Potok are not much different than what they have always been..... race baiters and shakedown artists who think America is a big crime against anyone black gay Latino Jewish female etc
In other words not white or male or straight or christian
Most astonishing to me
Is that freepers used to laud them and quote them to south bash and race bait
I’ve not seen support for them here in years
Nice
Dees is a perv too
Zero morals about punani
And coming from me that’s saying something
Our own Travis McGee is on their watch list
Once again this despicable, anti-American, hate group, shows their true colors. They well deserve the recognition I have tried to give them in my Debate Handbook:
How To Recognize The Bigot In The Argument"; which identifies, also, the antics of some of their allies.
Conservatives need to be ever on guard as to the endless efforts of such groups as the SPLC to intimidate dissent, even as they continuously strive to undermine respect for American culture, traditions & patriotism.

Should be repeated hourly so that no one confuses them with a legitimate, rational organization...
I’ve got the Southern Poverty Law Center on my extremist list right next to the Nazis, Communist Party USA, the Global Communists, the KKK, the Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP, the Nation of Islam and the Black Panthers.
I’d say it has become a badge of honor to be on SPLC’s list.
You have to give Morris credit though, he has made a fine living off this scam for decades.
The SPLC is still quoted often by the MSM.
I would be taking LEGAL ACTION, to SHUT THEM DOWN, if I were Dr. Carson.
I agree. Where is the Northern Poverty Law Center anyway?
I travel a bit and I see poverty everywhere.
The Western Poverty Law Center and the Eastern Poverty Law Center seems to not exist either.
Who are these freaks that have a monopoly on Poverty?
“Southern” “Poverty” “Law” “Center” has never been anything other that Pervert Morris Dees’ personal soap box for promoting racist, marxist tyranny.
It is a damning indictment of the FBI that SPLC was ever a citeable source. It has never been a credible source for anything.
Right ...
Didn't think so ...
Oh, the SPLC is much more important than that. It's for keeping Morris Dees in the style to which he has become accustomed.
To be generous, the SPLC has outlived its usefulness after the KKK was effectively shut down. It has resorted to scams and slander to maintain the “relevance” of the egos of Morris Dees and Mark Potok. Again , I am being very generous.
